First in Care: Inside Access's Commitment to Agentic AI
The conversation around AI in social care is no longer a question of "if" but "how" and how fast. As government and sector bodies increasingly turn their attention to AI's role in the sector, Access has moved from talk to action, becoming the first provider in social care to embed agentic AI directly into its platform. Anisa Appleby-Byrne, General Manager of Care at The Access Group, explains the thinking behind the move, the problems it's designed to solve, and what comes next.
Compliance in the Age of Agentic AI: Access's View from the Front Line
Few sectors carry higher stakes for getting AI governance right than social care. As regulators and sector bodies grapple with how AI should be governed, the risk of moving too fast, or too carelessly, is measured in real consequences for real people. It's a tension Access has approached head-on, embedding agentic AI directly into its platform with compliance and safety built in from the ground up, not bolted on after the fact. Martin Lowthian, Compliance Lead at The Access Group, explains how he sees AI, and agentic AI, reshaping the sector, and why Access is well placed to lead responsibly.
